Something Doesnt Smell Right
Fund: GreenHills Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-03-26
I was solicited by an associate of Greenhills to present to Mr. Martinez. I pitched and received 2 days later what has now become the standard MO for Greenhills. I got a consulting agreement from them requiring me to pay them $12k in return for locking me up to only taking money from their investors or having to pay a "break up fee" of a percentage of whatever I raise elsewhere.
The most troubling part is I asked them for references. This was requested 3 weeks ago and so far nothing. Wouldn't a successful firm have at its finger tips a list of people who would take a reference call"
Never a good sign. Does anyone have a positive funding experience with Greenhills that they are willing to share publicaly"
